Common conditions
Treating the whole person by pattern diagnosis, the clinic uses acupuncture, moxibustion, cupping, herbal medicine and tuina for the eight groups of common conditions below, and advises on sub-health care.
Pain
Headache and migraine, neck pain, frozen shoulder, rib-side pain, tennis elbow, tenosynovitis, back and leg pain, sprains and the after-effects of sports injuries. Acupuncture to free the channels and stop pain, with moxibustion, cupping and bone setting, eases the pain and frees movement.
Women’s health
Irregular, painful or absent periods, infertility and preparing for pregnancy, menopause, as well as gynaecological inflammation, leaking urine, ovarian cysts, fibroids, endometriosis and breast conditions. The clinic’s women’s health clinic uses classical formulas and pulse diagnosis, with abdominal and navel acupuncture.
Skin conditions
Itch, eczema, hives and other skin problems that keep coming back, and allergic tendencies such as hay fever. Herbs balance the organs and the blood from within, and acupuncture clears wind and heat and nourishes the skin, so flare-ups come less often.
Stress, sleep & mood
Low mood, anxiety and tension, stress, insomnia, trouble falling asleep, vivid dreams and waking, and the emotional strain of long-term fatigue. Treatment soothes the liver and calms the mind, with acupuncture, herbs and advice on daily routine.
Digestive problems
Chronic diarrhoea, constipation, chronic gastritis, nausea and vomiting, bloating and poor appetite, and liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach patterns such as chronic cholecystitis. Treatment strengthens the spleen and stomach and soothes the liver, adjusting the formula and diet advice as you improve.
Respiratory problems
Colds and fever, lingering cough, acute and chronic bronchitis, asthma and allergic asthma, allergic rhinitis, and the constitution behind colds that keep coming back. In acute phases the lungs are opened and the cough stopped; afterwards lungs, spleen and kidneys are strengthened.
Ear, nose & throat
Tinnitus, dizziness, dry and tired eyes, blurred vision, throat discomfort and sinusitis. Usually treated through the liver, kidneys, spleen and stomach, with local points to clear the sense organs.
Other conditions
Sub-health, tiredness, feeling the cold, recovery after childbirth or illness, and posture (forward head, rounded shoulders, uneven shoulders, scoliosis, pelvic tilt, leg-length difference). Start with a constitution assessment, then a plan.
